DESERTED HIS WIFE
W. Woifson Arrested on Re
quest From California,
RAN AWAY WITH WOMAN
Little Boy, Child of the Marriage,
Occupies Cell in the City Jail
With His Disgraced
Father.
Behind the charge of "Fugitives from
Justice. San Francisco, Cal.," entered
upon the arrest docket at the police sta
tion against William "Woifson and Fanny
Ruloff Is an Interesting tale of deser
tion, elopement with another man's mis
tress and an accidental meeting in the
California city.
"Woifson and the Ruloff woman -were
arrested late Saturday afternoon hy Offi
cer Croxford at the Holliday House, on
Holliday avenue. "With them -was little
S-yaar-old Robbie "Woifson, the son of the
man arrested, and the Mrs. "Woifson, who
Is now In San Francisco, fighting for the
possession of her child and charging her
husband with nonsupport.
"When the arrest was made every effort
was made by the Portland police to keep
the matter quiet. "Woifson and Ruloff
were visited yesterday by Attorney Alex
ander Bernstein. No charge can be laid
against them In the courts here until a
warrant or a representative of the desert
d wife comes from California, The llt-t.-
bo' is with them in the City Jail.
PAX FRANCISCO. Nov. 8. Mrs. Eer
tha Woifson, wife of William Woifson,
who was arrested with Fanny Ruloff in
Fortland. is in this city from Boston,
Mas?., and is prosecuting charges against
her husband through her attorney, A. A.
Fricdlandcr. Mrs. Woifson alleges that
her marriage to the defendant occurred
nine years ago, and that he deserted her
three years ago in the East, taking their
&-year-old son with him. She heard noth
ing more of him until about seven months
ago, when he came to Long Branch, Cal.,
and met the woman who is now under
arrest with him. This woman was being
supported by a man named Max Sauls,
Mrs. Woifson alleges, and Woifson availed
himself of Sauls' absence In Seattle to
win tho affections of his mistress. Just
.previous to their separation Mrs. Woifson
had her husband arrested in Boston for
'brutal treatment, but he jumped his bonds
-on this charge and came West.
Woifson and the woman came to San
Trancisco, and Sauls on hla trip back
from Seattle met them here. Considera
'ble trouble followed, and the Ruloff wom
an had Sauls arrested bn a charge of hav
ing stolen about $1000 worth of jewelry.
3Cothlng, however, was done with the
case, but Sauls left the city. Then At
torney Friedlander brought Mrs. Woifson
to the Coast with her two small children,
"and she swore to a warrant charging her
husband with failure to provide for their
minor child. The wife and babies were
destitute, and are still living wholly on
the charity of friends.
COULDN'T STAY AWAY.
Chronic Portlander Visits Ireland
and England, but Finally Returns.
"Tho price of cordwpod In Portland,
Or., goes away up every time there's an
America's Cup race. That's what I told
'em, and I guess as how they believed
it."
Tom Donnelly, an. Irishman who has
lived in Portland for 1G years, made a
36-months" visit to "the old country,"
which also means England to him. Now
ho's busy tolling his friends, since he re
Turned, the stories he told those across tho
water.
Y see. it's like this," continued the
chronic Portlander who couldn't stay
away from homo. "Over there they
think that Portland, Or., Portland, Me.,
Boston. Mass., and New York are all in
a bunch. They thinks that you can eat
broakfast out hero in Portland and have
3unch In Boston. See? Well, I tells
them this yarn, and they says for why?
Then I tells them how all the cordwood
of Portland is brought In on sailing
ecows.
"Now, when -there's a-going to be a
race for the America's Cup this Is what.
2 told 'em-'all these wood scows lay off
work, and they races up an' down the
river. The fastest of the bunch goes to
New Tork an' beats Upton's yacht Then
they asks how the price of cordwood is
raised, and Itells 'em that If there ain't
no wood coming In, why of course the
jirice goes up. See?"
Then Tom Donnelly, who once ran for
Councilman of Portland, laughed loudb'.
"They're havln' a lot of trouble over
there over what they calls a Mack list
57 see, they have passed a law that holds
everywhere except in Ireland. The first
tlmo a man Is arrested for beln drunk
they don't do nothin'. When he's ar
rested again they gives him 30 days. But
tho third tlmo that he's jugged he gets
three yarc$ In an inebriate asylum. The
-worst of it is that when he's arrested
they takes his photograph. Perhaps he's
been drunk once down in the South of
England. Well, If he goes Into a pub
that's what they calls tho saloons over
there and asks for a glass of 'arf and
arf, the barmaid says: 'Just wait a sec
ond and. I'll see if yer picter's in the al
lium, and If it's there you don't get your
jflrlnk. It's something awful.
"I remember one time when I got a lot
of Oregonians and other papers from out
Ibere, Why, I laid in bed an I read a
story by a man named Wilson about the
fc-cent restaurants In the Norf End. Why,
J says to. xnyselfi 'There's the old town, 1
can just see the wholo thing. But he
epeoks of a restaurant at Fourth and
Flanders streets, and I can't remember
jjone down there. So I keeps on think
ing who has started that restaurant.
That Oregonlan's back there yet. It
isn't framed, but its mighty near it, I
can tell you.
T've only got one leg, but I can make
a livin hero, but I couldn't make one
thero with 2t legs. Yes, I got back Fri
day, an' IM a been back before only
they hasn't got the bridge done yet, an
tit's a pretty long jump for a man with
-one leg, y know."
YOUNG BLOOD WANTED.
Newer Members of Portland Rowing
Club Seek Representation.
What the officers of a rowing club have
'to do with the success of Its crews on the
water, does not exactly appear, hut the
younger members of the Portland Row
ing Club are bent on having "young
blood" in the administering chairs. The
captain certainly should be an active
oarsman, but bo does" not seem to be the
point of contention, as the slate fixed up
by the dissenting members for the annual
election tonight contains the name, of R.
C Hart, now president of the club, as
captain. As to the president, secretary
and treasurer, in what way they can
fulfil their duties 60 that better men will
row in better form In the club crews has
not been explained. In fact, the trouble
has not been so much with the existing
officers, as on account of jealousy and
conflict of authority. But the trouble is
now forgotten and the pages In the club's
history containing it have been pasted to
gether. All is amity, but they do want new
officers. Tho North Pacific Association of
Amateur Oarsmen meets here next July, !
and the club wants to be in condition to
represent Portland well. Their ambition
is laudable, but it Is unfortunate that any )
ill-feeling has- crept in, as a good many
members of the club do not understand
the situation and think a faction is trying
to run the club. As a matter of fact,
the younger blood is merely asserting Jt
self and the present officers are willing to
retire if the members think it for the
interest of the club.
The public interest that has been aroused
will bring out to the election tonight
many members who would not otherwise
bai'e paid any attention to It
DISLIKES BANKING LAWS. ,
r
Publisher of Financial Paper Criti
cises Statutes.
Better banking laws for Oregon and
Washington formed the subject of an In
terview secured yesterday, at the Port
land Hotel, from F. Howard Hooke, pub
lisher of the Financial Age, of New York.
"The state banking laws of both Oregon
and Washington need reorganization,"
said Mr. Hooke. "The present laws allow
foreign banks to establish branches here
without specifying that such branches
shall have capital in the state, and it
makes unfair competition in the banking
business. The National Bank act re
quires that a National bank established
In, say, Portland, must have 5200,000 paid
in capital before it opens its doors. When
the state tax collector comes around, he
taxes the capital surplus and undivided
profits of these banks. But the branch
of the foreign bank, having no capital of
its own, pajs taxes only on its furniture
and fixtures.
"The major portion of the deposits of a
branch bank is sent over to the parent
bank to loan, thus taking capital out of
the state. The note issue of the bank Is
a first lien on the assets, and the depos
itors get what is left after the note
holders are satisfied. A branch bank is not
subject to periodical examinations, nor is
it compelled to carry a fixed reserve
against deposits. Note the advantages
over the American bank. The latter must
have Its capital paid in. It must lay. a
certain .sum aside each year as a sur
plus fund. It must keep 25 per cent of its
deposits in cash. It must not loan over
10 per cent of its capital to one concern.
It is subject to examination by a bank
examiner not less than twice each year,
and must make sworn statements of its
condition at least five times a year.
"And yet the state Legislature taxes
the American institution almost out of
existence, and allows a foreign bank to
compete for the business without sub
jecting it to the tax. If The Oregonlan
received the support it is entitled to from
the banking fraternity, it should be able
in a short time to create such a popular
demand for a banking law that would so
put all banks on the same level, that
the Legislature could not afford to ignore
it. I feel sure that It would riot be long
before some satisfactory legislation on
the subject would be under way."
"What about the recent financial flurry
in Wall street, with regard to Indus
trials?" he. was asked.
"The conservative banking element in
the East has for over a year attempted to
keep the public from entering the specu
lative maelstrom which has been sweep
ing over the country," was the reply. "It
deprecated the wild investments in over
capitalized Industrial securities, and en
deavored to save those who had already
waded Into the stream. As a consequence
the continued liquidation in the stock
market has caused a reduction in the
market value of the stocks listed on the
exchange during the past IS months, to a
sum exceeding $3,000,000,000. or an average
reduction of $40 a share in each listed
stock. During this entire period of liquida
tion, the banks in the East have stood
sound and firm, and are today in a very
much better condition than before."
"Do you anticipate a recurrence of tho
hard times of 1S93, very soon?" queried tho
reporter
"Assuredly not. Quite tho reverse.
Next year Is the Presidential year, and
conditions are apt to become unsettled
here and there, but the banks all over the
country have slowly and surely been pre
paring for it, and they are in good shape
to meet anything that may come up. We
will not have a panic, "but thero will be
a depression."
"What about a Government savings
bank, to Insure the absolute safety of de
positors' money?"
"The United States Government Is not
in the banking business, and has no right
to Injure any one business interest I
have every confidence in our National
banks. But if you Insist on leaving your
savings with the United States Govern
ment, why not buy postoffice money
orders for small sums, and leave them in
a safety deposit vault? You would not
draw any interest, and you would be
charged rent for the box. It would bo
an expensive process, but theoretically'
you would have practically gained your
point of a Government savings bank man
aged by yourself."
THE SUNDAY CLUB.
New Method of Making Christianity
and Good Morals Popular.
A plain black and white cardboard con
taining the words, "The Sunday Club,"
has been exhibited in hundreds of win
dows during the last week, and tho pub
lic has wondered what it signified. Later
it transpired that the Y. M. C. A., which
is a clever advertiser In a good cause,
wished to draw attention to its Sun
day afternoon entertainments. Its suc
cess yesterday was gratifying to the as
sociation. One hundred and seventy-five
men spent three hours listening to Dris
coll's orchestra, the Haywood Club Male
Quartet and an address by President S.
B. L. Penrose, of Whitman College, and
participating in singing and a discussion
of reform. Later tables were spread in
tho gymnasium and a light lunch was
served at slight expense. Dr. Penrose's
address was on "Twentieth Century Re
ligion." He said religion had quit hiding
in closets, and the tendency was towards
universal brotherhood in a united striving
towards a better life. Tho ISth century
in philosophy and religion has demon
strated tho nearness of man to God, and
tho 20th century is to show the united
efforts of all humanity to reach a level
that such close relation with the Al
mighty makes imperative for the dignity
of all men. He applied his speech par
ticularly to the efforts made and to be
made by the Y. M. C. A. in lifting the
ideals of young men at a period when they
are too large to fit into, their father's
home and have not yet established a
household of their own.
The study groups that followed this lec
ture were divided into two classes, ac
cording to individual training. Profession
al students, under E. C. Bronaugh; busi
ness students under Merwin Pugh; strang
ers under W. H. 'Stone, and three other
classes conducted by G. F. Martin. Pro
fessor W. M. Wilder and C. A. Lewis.
They discussed each in a separate group,
the questio'n of reform, and all heartily
condemned radical fanaticism that leads
to reaction and no practical results.
The Sunday Club meetings will be con
tinued all Winter.

WILL BUILD RESORT FOR ME
First Presbyterian Church Decides to
Erect Brick Structure in North
End, With Library and Kin-
dergarten Departments.
In the hrlef space of one-half hour,
without previous advertisement of any
kind, the sum of 934,253 was raised at
yesterday morning's service at the First
Presbyterian Church for a Men's Resort,
proposed to be built on a lot donated by
the Ladd family, at the southwest corner
of Fourth and Burnsldo streets. It wa3
an inspiring scene, not soon to be for
gotten by those fortunate enough to wit
ness it. The lot is valued at $23,000, and
subscriptions amounting- to J9233' were
pledged in sums varying from $230 to ?1
each. Rev. Dr. Edgar P. Hill had
charge of this magnificent free-will offer
ing service, and when the result was
mentioned at the close ho could scarcely
speak clearly for emotion.
For years tho First Presbyterian
Church people have been deeply Interest
ed In the work of reclaiming "Whitechapel
an5 trying to better the social and re
ligious -conditions of the men, especially
the young men, who live in that dis
trict It was explained that in 1S37 a
work was started by the First Presby
terian Church. in that portion of the
North End of tho city commonly called
Whitechapel, under the title of tho "Men's
Resort." Its primary purpose was to
provide a place in the worst district of
the city, where men might spend their
time surrounded by wholesome influences.
A reading room and small library were
provided, a work was undertaken for the
boys and a kindergarten for the children.
Entertainments of one kind or another
were given from time to time, and a free
Christmas dinner was provided each year.
Religious meetings were regularly held.
The work was located originally on the
east side of North Third street, between
Davis and Everett. Later it was moved
across North Third street, and about a
year ago It was obliged to leave that
street altogether and take a storeroom
on North Sixth street north of Davis.
Ever since the work was started it has
met with gratifying success. The reading-room
has been thronged at all hours
of the day and evening by men who, but
for the resort, would probably have been
in saloons. Its meetings, both religious
and secular, have been well attended, and
there has been every evidence that it has
been a. powerful Influence for good in the
"bad lands." The work for two years
past has been under the active and ca
pable management of Rev. A. D. Soper,
who has hadthe hearty co-operation of
Rev. Dr. Edgar P. Hill, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church. The quarters
on North Sixth street are cramped, so
much so that the work among the boys
has had to be abandoned and the other
branches of the work have been very
much hampered. The resort has badly
needed a permanent home. But with land
values such as they are In that part of
the city and the expense of building so
high, it had seemed impossible to pro
vide these needed facilities.
All this and more was described in a
condensed form by Dr. Hill, and when ho
casually mentioned that "a family con
nected with this church" had donated a lot
at Fourth and Burnslde streets, on con
dition that the congregation erect a suit
able building, it became evident to those
present that something out of the ordinary
was to take place at the service, yet
nobody made a rush for jthe door. Dr.
Hill said that on account' of the lot be
ing within the city fire limits, it was
necessary that a brick building should be
erected, costing about $12,000. Plans of
the proposed Improvement were suddenly
unfolded from the choir gallery, rails, and
Dr. Hill appointed Rev. Mr. Soper and
Miller Murdoch to act as secretaries. The
subscriptions began at $250, and members
of the congregation indicated the amount
they wished to pledge by standing up and
giving their names, with pledges. The
sums asked for were lowered until sums
of $10 were mentioned, and then subscrip
tion cards werevhanded around to the peo
ple in the pews. It was like ideas men
tioned In two well-known novels, "All
Sorts and Conditions of Men," and "Chil
dren of Gideon." Many women and chil
dren contributed. As a finale, the dox
ology, "Praise God From Whom All Bless
ings Flow" was sung. It Is expected the
balance of the money will easily be raised.
WAS ACQUITTED AT ONCE.
Jnnocence of Robert Louden, of Land
Fraud Charge Established.
Robert Louden, of 29S Third street, re
turned yesterday from Duluth, Minn.,
where he went to stand trial for an al
leged participation in a land fraud case
In which Charles P. McGinnls, of Duluth,
was charged with fraudulently obtaining
Government land under the timber and
stone act. Both were acquitted of the
charge.
The arrest of Mr. Louden seems to have
been due to the zeal of a too ambitious
land agent. A year ago Mr. Louden was
summoned to appear before United States
District Attorney Hall, for tho purpose of
explaining his part in a transaction, by
which McGinnls came Into possession of
a relinquishment. Mr. Louden explained
his connection with the deal, which conn
sisted of merely telling McGinnls that the
man who had filed on the land had not
complied with the law and that he thought
the owner could be induced to rellquish
the land. Attorney Hall, at that time in
formed Mr. Louden that he did not deem
it necessary for Louden to return to Du
luth and nothing more was thought of the
matter. Two months ago while Mr.
Louden was walking In Washington, D.
C, he was dumbfounded when an officer
stepped up to him and placed him under
arrest. Waiving all legal processes, Mr.
Louden took a train for Duluth, paying
his own railroad fare. He learned when
ho reached Duluth that his arrest was due
.to a special agent who merely wished to
have him present at the trial to testify
against McGinnls. There was really no
charge against him, although ho had been
subjected to the Indignity of arrest and
had traveled almost 2000 miles in order to
stand trial.
When Mr. Louden returned yesterday
he exhibltedva certificate for witness fees
amounting to $1.65. This Is all he got out
of his arrest and the long trip by rail to
Duluth. He is very wrathy about what he
considers a high-handed piece of business
and does not intend to let the matter rest
where it Is. '1 shall bring the matter be
fore the authorities in Washington," he
said yesterday, and before I get through
with the agent he will find that he has
got himself in a nasty mess. I was ab
solutely Innocent of any wrong doing, and
so was McGinnls, as his subsequent ac
quittal shows. The special agent was
even guilty of Ignoring the rules of the
Interior Department, for be failed to send
the affidavits to Washington, nor have
they reached there yet. I am certainly go
ing to bring the matter up at Washing
ton and will endeavor to make it hot for
Sum."

Apples in Klickitat Valley.
Fine specimens of some ten well-known
varieties of apples and five promising
seedlings, have been sent to the perma
nent exhibit by R. L. Baker, of Golden
dale, who is confident that the Klickitat
Valley Is destined to rival Hood River
"Valley as an apple-producing region.
Klickitat Valley Is Just across the river
from The Dalles, over the summit of
tho hills, and is alarge and fertile sec
tion, formerly a fine cattlo range, but
of late years cut up into farms and
scttlod. Goldendale, tho seat of govern
ment, is connected with Lyle by railroad.
Tho apples sent in are equal to the best,
tho Gloria Mundi, Bittenheimer, Ben
Davis and other varieties being of large
size, ilrm and bright colored. The seed
lings aro all promising and of fine color,
free from all blemishes, and long keepers.
One, called the Snow, has flesh nearly
as white as snow. There is no apparent
reason why tho Kickltat Valley should not
produce as fine apples as any other sec
tion, and the climate is such as to color
them to perfection, which is an important
point.
In this connection it may be stated
that an Eastern, man . who has been
looking over the Northwest for a loca
tion in which to settle and engage in
apple growing, has applied to the Board
of Horticulture for Information as to the
suitability of th$ country above Ellens
burg for apple growing. It used to bo
that orchards were sot out without any
pains being taken to see whether the
soil was suitable or not, but now before
peoplo go to tho pains of planting an
Suits, Waists, Furs, Etc.
Did yesterday's crisp air drive home the conviction that the purchase of your
new Suit or Coat could no longer be postponed ? Today we start a remarkable
sale of new Suits, Coats, Waists, Furs, Ulsters, Etc., that for real value cannot
be duplicated in town The saving is ample reason why buying should be done

orchard they wish .to know what the
prospects are for receiving returns. In
this case the inquirer was told that the l
Board had no analysis of soils around
Ellensburg, and that he would have to
secure information from the owners of
old orchards in that section and "by test
ing the soil himself. He should dig down
and if he. finds good, alluvial soil to a
depth of eight feet, and no hard pan
or rock, he may have confidence that
apple trees will flourish there; but apple
orchards should not be planted in less
than eight feet of good soil.
LONDON EXCHANGE DULL.

LONDON, Nov. IS. The week's business
on the stock exchange- has again been
dull with prices irregular. Greater at
tention has been paid to the position of
the American market than to the effect
on the market of Far Eastern politics.
The renewed break in steel stocks has
been a disturbing influence in the railroadT"

Saturday.
Colombians fell heavily on receipt of the
news of the revolution on the Isthmus of

JAPAN KEADY FOE WAR,
Russian Aggression Will Not Be Tol
erated. SEATTLE, Nov. S. Japan is all ready
for war with Russia, according to
Charles V. Sale, a millionaire business
man who has lived In Yokohama for
tho past 23 years. He says the people
generally in Japan expect war and want
it, but that the government so far has
pursued a very conservatlce policy and
has succeeded in keeping in check the
more radical ones.
He says that Japan does not care any-
ilni oVirml- Afnnc hnriji pipent to nrn-i
tect Its trade interests, but that Russia
must keep lt3 paws off of Corea or get
war. The newspapers of Japan have en
tered into an agreement to print nothing
about the movements of either the navy
or the army, and all strangers are closely

Price of Salmon Advances.
Tho rise of the Cowlitz River, ' on ac
count of the late rains, has cut down
tho receipts of salmon In this market
and caused a sharp advance In tho price
paid by dealers. The reason of this Is
that there were a number of traps about
the mouth of the Cowlitz from which
the local supply of salmon was mostly
secured, and tho rise of the river has
rendered It necessary to dismantle them.

Meier & Frank Company
There are many sllverslde salmon in the
lower Columbia ,whlch will be caught
by gilL netters and will help supply the
market. The hosts of salmon which
thronged the river when the fishing sea
son ended have worked their way up into
the Snake River and. so many are be
ing caught at points along that river
that the demand there is about supplied
by them, and the dealers here are receiv
ing few orders for salmon. Owing to
the schools of salmon now coming Into
the Columbia so late and In such vast
numbers, fishermen and cannery men are
of tho opinion that the close" season as
provided by the present law is of no
benefit to the salmon. The propagation
of salmon can be trusted entirely to the
hatcheries, they say, and the swarms
of fish left in the river when the fishing
season closesare practically wasted. The
late arrival of the schools makes the
Ashing season very short and reduces the
output.
